Non-Toxic Air Fresheners Most synthetic air fresheners do nothing to freshen the air. They only add more pollutants in an attempt to mask or cover up the offensive odor. Some work by emitting compounds that inhibit our sense of smell. Instead of using synthetic smells, open windows to air out the house periodically and use natural air fresheners. A good natural deodorizer for dissipating offensive odors consists of a mixture of four teaspoons baking soda in four cups of water. Fill a convenient-sized spray bottle, and spray the solution in a fine mist. Or, wrap cloves and cinnamon in cheesecloth, and boil them in water. Leave herbal bouquets standing in open dishes for a fragrant smell.
